> I’m not trying to be an asshole but most of what you guys said is not going to fix anything. Honestly whats bullshit is the big cuts in healthcare. However, most of you have concentrated your ideas on too small a topic when really its much easier. America needs to stop pretending to play hero. We spent billions helping out in the middle east. Even stateside weve spent billions to help out those who dont want to get jobs. Noone has ever had a problem with only worrying about your own providence/city state/country in the past, in fact they flourished. The roman empire under diocletion would take the homeless and make them work in the army. Instead we pay for people not to work who “cant find work”. Im 19 and have never had a problem finding a job. I know its much easier for someone older than me willing to work full time to find one as well.

there’s a difference between part-time non-careerr based work and someone who needs to support a family.

i personally am having a hardtime finding work ever since i was let go by the local police department due to a cutback in funding. i just went on an interview yesterday for package and shipping position. i have interviewed there three times already, it’s fucking pathetic. i had to sign a background check form, and everything.

mean while, i have to wait until public school opens up again so i can get a chance to be called in as a substitute teacher for the day.
